Student Learning Objectives:
Students will be able to answer different types of word problems, involving the number 12. (The number 12 comes up often in Mr. Popper's Penguins because that is how many penguins there are)
Students will be able to find different ways to represent the number 12.
Assessment: Students will be given a worksheet on all different word problems, a lot of them involving the number 12 since that is a number that comes up a lot in the story Mr. Popper's Penguins. In these word problems, we will be looking at what different combinations of numbers we can put together to make 12 (addition word problem) and what combinations of numbers we can take away from one another to make 12. (subtraction word problems) Students will be asked to use their white boards to visually show the steps they took to solve these word problems.
Materials:
-pencil
-paper
-ipad or laptop (to take quiz on word problems in beginning of class)
-whiteboards
Lesson Plan:
A. Initiation: I want to know what my students know about word problems and how they feel about solving these word problems so I am going to open this lesson by having them take a quick quiz that I created:
1. We will start off by taking the short quiz on "What Do You Know About Word Problems?"
2. Once students take the quiz, students will watch the EdPuzzle video on how to solve different types of word problems.
3. Once everyone finishes watching the video, I will go over solving a word problem on the smart board so students can work in the right direction.
4. Students will then be working with partners to solve all sorts of addition and subtraction word problems. They will be using their white boards to visually show how they are solving these problems. There are ten word problems so this will definitely take the students some time.
5. For the students who finish ahead of time, they will be creating their own word problem that has to do with something in Mr. Popper's Penguins.
6. When everyone finishes the worksheet, we will go over them on the projector so everyone can see. I will have students come up to show their work and explain the steps they took.
7. Some of the students who created their own word problems will also have time to share.
C. Extension Activity
Students who finish their math early will come up with their own word problems incorporating the 12 penguins, the 2 adults, and the 2 children in Mr. Popper's penguins. Students will be encouraged to share their word problems and have the rest of the class try to find the correct answer to their problems.
D. Closure
Once we go over the word problems we both completed and created, I will explain how the math work we did today ties into our story Mr. Popper's Penguins. I will explain that math is everywhere and not just when we talk about it during math in the morning. Math is all throughout our story- 12 penguins, 2 parents, 2 children, miles away from home ,etc. Throughout our daily reading of Mr. Popper's Penguins, we are going to see how much math we recognize in our story. I want all of the students to be on the look out for these hidden math problems.
